CHICAGO, ILL.,, May lS.--The prevailing
conditions today at the opening were much
the same as yesterday. Cables were firm
and reported an u ward tendency in wheat
at Liverpool. The crowd we're undo ded,
ana the opening prices we're higher than the
close Of yesterday. June started at sec, but
a majority of the crowd were disposed to
sell. Prices fuctuated rapidly in the first
few minutes, but kept on the down side of
go be,ow sSHc. Half an hour after the ses-
sion opened few of the boldest traders in
the pic, who had got tired of seeing June
bang at S81ac and above, apparently for no
other reasop, st~rted IN to find where the
bottom Of the market really was. They COM
mencea Offering Juse wheat at 80 or
&c below the market. " hen they started
June was SS19c, and when they stopped the
market was at o1zs@S'ci To accomplish
not dispose Of over 10000 or 10000 bushels
all tod. This very plai My demOnet ated
that the clique was standing from under for
q time and was al owing the market TO take
its own course. At about $50 June wheat
found bottom figures and also a lit sup.
port from the crowd, but the clique let It
severely alone. The trading between l0:30
O'Clock and noon WAS very Cuil, and prices
for June hung between SS@sS1sj during the
whole time. Thee cond tiOns also pre-
vailed dur ,ng the after Don session and Juno
wheat closed at SSA@iSIsc. Corn was weak
at the opening. July started at 1870 and
